In the end, it's simply boring.

A pointless speeches, that motivates the mass of people. Yes it is somewhat engaging to realize exactly who this man is. But in the end, Tonny character is not interesting enough to hold an entire plot. I did expect more from this movie, more authentic experience, but in the end it is a cliche, very cringy environment, which seems very artificial.

Plays like a concert movie

I was not too familiar with Tony Robbins before seeing this movie. Personally, I found him shallow and superficial, turning psychotherapy into a simple-minded show while making some quick money out of it (I do get the idea that it is not just about the money for him though). I think the participants who are seriously seeking help would be better off with a good professional therapist (that is, if you can find one).

That said, this is a nice recording of a Tony Robbins "event". It plays out kind of like a concert movie: you get an idea of what is happening out there plus some backstage comments. If you do like the band, good for you. If you do not like the band, well, you still get an idea of what it is about plus some touching moments. At worst, it might look like a Tony Robbins commercial, but it is what it is: recording of an event.

Fascinating Insight into the world of motivational speaking

An interesting insight into one of Tony Robbins multi-day seminars. It is a pretty revealing look into Tony Robbins, his philosophy and the audience that attends his shows.

It is certainly not for everyone, as it comes off a bit cult-ish and he tends to display his hyper-agressive alpha style of dealing with issues, and the documentary doesn't explore any opposing viewpoints (so in that sense, it is more of and advert), but I found it fascinating just to explore that world and what motivates people to attend a 6-day, 12-hours a day hyper-energized seminar.

Age-est

I would have been more impressed if he would have picked at least one person over fifty to interview. There were plenty of older men and women in the audience. It appeared all of his staff was also very young. Other than that it was a pretty good film.

Tricked by the Netflix Logo...

The Netflix Logo tricked me into watching this infomercial disguised as a documentary.

From a movie making point of view it is flawless. Beautiful camera-work, perfect editing and intriguing soundtrack.

As the director proved time and time again, he is a master of his art, e.g. the Metallica documentary.

But this time he failed in separating his personal experience from his job as a documentary filmmaker and basically made a concert movie that serves as an advertisement for Mr. Robbins and his empire.

The length of the documentary with almost 2 hours is also contributing to the fact that i fell like someone tried to brainwash me.
